My Teammates

I thank the Lord so much for my teammates who serve together with me in Petrovka. We have Misha, our pastor, and his wife, Tanya, and their son David. We have Oleg who preaches every Sunday and is responsible for the church property repairs and remodeling. He also works with our children's program and youth ministry. Igor is our tech guy and also helps in keeping up the church property and works with our children's program. Natasha heads up our children's program and works with our teenage girls. Zinove and Nastya got married last June and had a baby boy, Timothy, in March of this year. Unfortunately, they are living in Russia right now with Nastya's parents and they aren't sure if they will continue ministry with us. Julie and Tanya, two girls from First Baptist Church of Odessa, helped us in our summer camp last August and they both felt a burden for the children and the people in Petrovka.  When we started our children's Bible club in the fall of last year, both Julie and Tanya expressed an interest to work with us. This year in the spring they both said they believed God was calling them to work with us full time. Tanya has already joined us on Sundays and she plays the piano and sings and is a great addition to our team. Julie plans to join us at the end of June full time and will be the coordinator for our children's camp this summer.
